The present invention concerns a kit and methods for the detection of absence or presence of a β-lactamase, for examplea penicillinase, in a sample comprising or derived from a body fluid taken from a patient suffering from aninfection. In some embodiments, the goal of the invention is to rapidly identify infections which can be treated effectively with apenicillin compound. The invention contributes to slowing down the occurrence of resistances to last generation antibiotics. This is achieved by using penicillin compounds for treating infections whenever this can be done efficiently.In brief, the present invention provides a tool for maximizing the use and efficiency of penicillinantibiotics.In other embodiments, the test kit of the invention can be used to detect cephalosporinases(including ESBLs)or carbapenemases.
